It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Submit an application form. Parents complete the school’s official application form and pay the one-time non-refundable application fee of THB 10,000. Supporting documents such as previous school reports and a copy of the student’s passport are typically required.
2. Assessment and interview. The school arranges an assessment appropriate to the student’s age and stage, which may include academic testing and an interview. This is used to determine suitability for the curriculum and year group placement.
3. Offer of place and acceptance. If the student meets the criteria and a place is available, the school issues an offer letter. Parents confirm acceptance by paying the non-refundable admission fee (THB 30,000) and refundable security deposit (THB 50,000).
4. Final enrolment. Before the start date, parents complete any remaining administrative requirements such as uniform purchase, payment of the first term’s tuition fees, and provision of medical and visa documents.
